I'm interested in Ann Romney.....I don't have any opinion of her so far

As for any of the white men yapping I will have to sit on my hands or I will break my TV

so......if you have Current TV.........in Oakland Comcast it's channel 107.........

a whole new set of pundits who are from progressive talk radio PLUS our almost President Al Gore...

plus they are streaming tweets on different subjects around the Convention and talking about them....

I like listening to a different set of pundits........

Well I understood the build up to Ann Romney was that she was going to bring the personal Mitt Romney to life. She is well spoken, but I don't feel I learned anything about him. He made her laugh and they don't brag about helping people (of course she had to tell us about it several times, lol) and she promises he will work hard. Shrug.

I tried to watch it, but I had to turn it off about 2 minutes into Christie. I was proud of myself that I last that long....

The only time I saw Ann Romney show real emotion was when people were standing up and applauding her...she was in her glory... gross....

I did just about lose it when Christie talked about education and what Republicans versus Democrats supposedly believe in. I thought his speech was mostly a commercial for himself.

I've watched other Republican conventions in years past, and the crowd at this one seems far more subdued. Maybe it's the acoustics of the building or something, but to me they just don't seem very enthusiastic.

I can't see this convention so far giving them any major boost with undecided voters, but who knows. I'm not an undecided voter.

Last night watching Christie I was deeply and profoundly grateful that he wasn't the nominee this time out because I think he probably could beat Obama walking away. That said, I also think that the GOP seemed surprisingly subdued. There's no real enthusiasm for Romney and hating the black guy may not be enough to carry the day for them.

Cheers
